Colliers is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a 25-parcel assemblage at 1625 Forbes Avenue, located in Pittsburgh’s Uptown neighborhood. Positioned between Downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland along the Forbes Avenue corridor, 1625 Forbes Avenue offers a rare opportunity to develop a large urban site within one of the city’s fastest growing redevelopment corridors.
The assemblage totals approximately 37,899 square feet (0.87 acres) and comprises nearly 83% of a full city block with access from all four sides, allowing flexibility for site planning, circulation, parking, and future development design. Zoned UPR-A (Uptown Public Realm Subdistrict A), the property permits a wide range of uses including multifamily, mixed use, office, medical, institutional, and supporting retail development.
Located approximately one block from UPMC Mercy, 1625 Forbes Avenue sits within a rapidly evolving neighborhood supported by major public and private development activity. Nearby demand drivers include Duquesne University, PPG Paints Arena, Downtown Pittsburgh, and the broader Oakland education and healthcare corridor, creating strong long term demand from students, medical employees, young professionals, and institutional users.
Uptown, commonly referred to as “The Bluff,” continues to emerge as a key connection point between Pittsburgh’s Central Business District and Oakland’s university and medical campuses. Residents and future tenants benefit from walkability, direct public transit access, and convenient connectivity throughout the city via Forbes Avenue, Fifth Avenue, and nearby interstate access. The property is also located along Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s planned Bus Rapid Transit corridor, further supporting future redevelopment and neighborhood growth.
Located within Federal Opportunity Zone #42-003-010300, 1625 Forbes Avenue presents a unique opportunity to develop within one of Pittsburgh’s most active urban growth corridors.
